Good Friday was a day off - but Gui's rugby game against Hautapu was happening at 1pm, so while he left early to see his team, Maeva and I had a sleep in, watched tv, cleaned the house, did 3 loads of washing and then got ready for the rugby.
We took our own sandwiches, cucumbers (her new favourite), jam sandwich and a mango because there is a 15% surcharge on all goods today.
We parked our car on the hill and watched the game from there (well, Maeva- you slept), then we joined my cousin Rob and his family. We also got to hold baby Tamatoa (Tiana and Brian's cute little son).
For the second half, we walked across the paddock to the main stand.
You had eaten all the cucumbers by then.
We sat with the Varsity boys waiting for your papa to come out of the changing sheds.
You got impatient so you started playing with the dust until your pants were all brown.
While we waited, I thought you were behaving so well, so I rewarded you with a licorice from the dairy.
You were very excited about it, you held the long rope of licorice across your face and said
"Look mum!"
However, the fun ended there, you didn't like the taste, so you placed that back in the bag and picked something else.
Then we shared a mango, and you ate faster than me!
By then, your papa had come out of the shed and you ran excitedly to see greet him.
You love hanging around his feet playing in the dust while he was chatting with his boys.
But I was not happy when he got you a packet of crisps - Not good Papa!
Anyway - we watched the game - Varsity lost but it was a fun day altogether.

Easter Weekend
We drove to Bowentowen, pitched up the tent and you were fascinated with the zips and the air bed and the dirt!
We set up our table outside and you sat there eating your lunch while me and your papa set up our tent.
You met the neighbours kids, Jules and Miller, both girls who liked to run around. You ended up hanging out with them a lot.
We spent heaps of time at the playground, beach, kitchen, walking tracks and outdoors.
I think the highlights for you were:
- Making sand castles at Waihi beach and Pio's beach
- Finding your chocolate easter bunny in your sleeping bag...and eating it too!
- Taking Tigger on your back to the beach
- Jumping on the trampoline and being chased by your mama while you giggled.
- Watching other kids playing in the resources room
- Washing your hands with 'pink soap'
- Swinging under the tree next to our tent
- Sleeping in with your olds in a wee wee tent
- Playing in the fresh water pond at Waihi
- SWIMMING AT THE HOT WATER POOLS IN TE AROHA, THATS THE BEST I THINK!
My girl, you were a wonderful camper and I thoroughly enjoyed spending time with you. We will do this again this winter and make sure you have as much time outdoors so you can be nature loving bugga like us!!!
...playing in the water at Waihi Beach....
I love my Maeva Moelagi (:
Posing with your Papa at Waihi Beach, you love this dress, in fact, all dresses. Just this morning we had another struggle to get you to wear pants. You won the struggle - again - you wore your dress to daycare!
Eating your Easter Bunny in our tent on Sunday morning
Swinging under the trees...you little monkey (:
Look, Papa found you a wee shell!
